Please note, Catch Us If You Can Summer Camp is a new concept developed this year by Nancy Brophy, Director of Tom Thumb Preschool for 43 years. Nancy has created a new program that's a blend of summer camp and school-light to achieve her goal of "Making Education a Fun Learning Experience". Her new program uses "the power of play as the overarching mechanism to explore, discover and learn. It contains what you would expect from a summer camp and more.


Nancy's new program makes summertime count by help improve the camper academically and aid in social skill development. She believes camp can be an effective educational tool, because children are spending most of their time having fun and don't realize learning is happening.


Summertime is an important break from school and a change in mind-set to unwind, forget about school and have fun with outdoor activities and play. Catch Us If You Can Summer Camp is designed to support this summertime mind-set by being a camp first with arts and crafts, stage performances, sing-a-longs, games and age appropriate activities, sports and puzzles, as well as, time for children to relax and hung around. Our new summer program is NOT a summer school, but a day-camp with an integrated planned agenda to promote learning and academic refreshment using games, worksheets and handouts under the guidance of accredited teachers.


What's the difference between "Catch Us If You Can" and other camps?

Catch Us If You Can is a different program and is our newest summer camp by Tom Thumb Preschool. Catch Us If You Can Summer Camp is an academically oriented camp that uses arts and crafts, games and recreational activities to foster the improvement of social and learning skills under the guidance of an experienced teachers.
